After wandering around the valley for half a day, it was not until it was almost dark that Li Yuanjia left a series of orders and returned to his house in Zhuangzi.

Here, too, he has a set of "villas".

And compared with the palatial Han Wangfu in the city, Li Yuanjia personally prefers this small villa - a house built in full accordance with his requirements, a Tang version of two bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.

It's small, but it's all in the box.

Especially the things that are difficult to do in the city, such as the "tap water" introduced by relying on the nearby mountain spring water, such as the study and bedroom with an area of only one-tenth of the palace, etc., all make Li Yuanjia have an inexplicable sense of warmth - the house in Chang'an City is really too big!

Li Yuanjia had always thought that he would like a big house, but after being reborn as a prince, he found that it was actually too big and uncomfortable. Especially the empty Tang Dynasty decoration style, it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable......

"Send someone back and tell the princess that I will stay here for a few days."

After entering the house and sitting down, Li Yuanjia waved his hand at Han Lucheng and said, "In addition, just leave spring smoke in the house alone, I want to be quiet and quiet." ”

“…… Yes, King. ”

After a pause, Han Lucheng hurriedly bowed down and nodded.

Although he didn't understand what the king wanted to do, he was now used to obeying orders and not speaking, so after asking a few words in a low voice, Han Lucheng hurriedly retreated. Anyway, there is a personal girl Chunyan, and if the king lacks something, she will naturally come out to ask for it, but there is no need to worry.

After Han Lucheng left, Chunyan naturally got busy immediately.

The bed was already made, but the king would have to eat, drink tea, and read at night...... This is an old habit for many years, and it will definitely not change much, so there is still a lot to do in Chunyan.

Li Yuanjia, who has long been accustomed to being served, enjoys all this with peace of mind.

But instead of sitting at his desk under the glass window and reading as usual, he stood there staring out the window.

The terrain of the house is not very high, but the surroundings are very open.

In addition to the scattered bungalows around him, where the guards who guarded him lived, the nearest house was also dozens of houses open, so as far as the eye could see, his career was extremely open.

It was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone was returning home and the smoke was rising, Li Yuanjia saw the returning farmers everywhere he looked, the children who were still running wildly in the last sunshine, and the peasant women calling them home.

The fun of the field is all in it.

"Sizzle......"

took a long breath, although he didn't smell the "fragrance of the earth" like in the book, Li Yuanjia still had an inexplicable feeling, it seemed that the air in Chang'an City was a little fresher?

"Haha......"

That is, after a while, Li Yuanjia grinned and laughed out loud.

Isn't that?

In these years, there was no industry, even Chang'an, the largest city in the world, at most it burned some firewood and charcoal, and even the coal that had just begun to be used was very few people in Chang'an City. Wealthy families felt that the smoke of coal fires was too great, and preferred to use traditional charcoal; The poor hated that they were too expensive, for firewood was everywhere outside the city, and coal had to be brought from far away, and if you wanted to use them, you had to make briquettes, and you had to have a coal stove at home......

So after two years of tossing, Li Yuanjia naturally understood the difficulty of popularizing coal.

Think about it, even after more than a thousand years, there are far more people in the countryside who don't use firewood than coal? Briquettes have only been popular in the city for decades.

"So if you really want to promote, you can only ...... Oh, handicraft! ”

Thinking of the scale and level of the so-called industry in this era, Li Yuanjia could only shake his head again and sigh helplessly. The only thing he could count on was his paper and glass workshops, because the former had to boil plant fibers, and the latter had to smelt the sand......

"Huh?"

Just when Li Yuanjia was filtering these workshops under his name, pondering which of them might consume a large amount of coal in the future and cause a weak environmental pollution in the Tang Dynasty, he suddenly thought of another workshop, and what that workshop has been doing in the past two years!

His eyes widened suddenly, and Li Yuanjia turned his head with a whizz: "Spring smoke, spring smoke?" ”

"Huh? I'm here. ”

The little girl who was busy boiling water and making tea for Li Yuanjia heard his cry, and hurriedly rushed over at a trot: "Wang, do you have any orders from me?" ”

Rubbing his hands vigorously, Li Yuanjia's face was full of a smile of unexpected gain, and he nodded: "Go, make Han Lu ...... No, go tell Han Lucheng and let Li Zhong come to me! Also, ask him to bring me something......"

……

"Okay Li Zhong, don't think about it anymore!"

In the movable type workshop on the side of Zhuangzi, the craftsman Lao Wangtou, who was packing up his things and preparing to go home, looked at Li Zhong, who was still frowning and worried, and said with some amusement: "The king came today to see the valley, it's normal that he didn't call you over, what do you have to worry about?" Besides, you don't know how much our king attaches importance to movable type, in addition to calling you over every month, money and things are never short, almost what you want to give ......"

"That's it, what are you worried about!"

After listening to the words of the old king, Sun Zhan next to him also said: "If you all need to worry, what is my side?" The king doesn't necessarily call me over once in months! ”

Rolling his eyes, Li Zhong looked at his little friend and said angrily, "Why did you ask you to go over?" You grow cotton, and you have that stubble a year, do you ask how your seeds are preserved? Hehe, besides, if you're not worried, you don't usually come to me for ten days and a half months, why did you come here today? ”

"Ahem, I'm not ......"

opened his mouth, and Sun Zhan's words didn't continue.

Not worried?

!

Seeing that the other little friends were doing well, Han Cheng directly got a huge valley over there, saying that it was all owned by their glass workshop, how could the others not be in a hurry?

Especially Sun Zhan, this year's cotton has been planted, but the king has never looked for him again except for asking him to report once, so it is inevitable to be disappointed.

So looking at Li Zhong with a bitter face, Sun Zhan couldn't help but feel angry, and pouted: "You, instead of thinking about what you have and don't, you should quickly print that book...... How long has it been? You haven't finished all your movable type? ”

"It's almost there, it's thirty or forty words."

This time, without waiting for Li Zhong to answer, the old Wang Tou next to him happily answered this question first.

But this time, before Li Zhong could say anything, he heard the footsteps of a person running in a hurry outside, and then a familiar face of Li Zhong rushed in directly: "Li Zhong, hurry, the king wants to see you!" Also, bring all the records you made for movable type......"
